Thank you both. I am going to see it at 10 this morning. The seller "overlooked" answering the question in my email as to whether or not it is working. The top of the cabinet looks bad. Guess I get to learn how to fix it!

Those tend to 'freeze' up - they will need oil and heat - use it as a bargaining chip to get the price down.

Oh no- what happened to their cases and heads? The worst part is when I see them on EBay- dismantled by a seller and sold by the piece. Makes me want to dismantle them! Second worst is when they've been "antiqued" or "shabby chic-ed". UGH.

The latest one I dragged home had been setting outside - I let Joe rescue a wood part he needed - the only wood part in any kind of shape... Well, it does have drawers. I hope I can put a different top on the base - at least it still turns.
